THE POWER IN YOU
PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITION
Most women who suffer from gender-based violence suffer quietly and alone because they do not feel welcomed by society as a whole.
REPORT IF YOU SEE, LISTEN OR KNOW THAT SOME WOMEN ARE SUFFERING VIOLENCE.
We often think that the denunciation maybe will not affect anything, but be aware that the presence of an authority can often prevent this violence from continuing at the exact moment or in the future.
So report it, you can save a life.
Hi,
First of all know that you are not alone.
I created this site to help all of us.
Below I will cite some sites and support sites both in New York City and in Brazil.
If you still need help, send me an email.
And I Luiza Tojer will do my best to help you.
But know that just getting here has already taken a big step in your life or someone else's life.
Feel welcomed.
Note: If you have more locations, contacts, numbers and suggestions are super welcome.
